For those that don't know, Lionheart Creations ( LHC) has a really cool small private Jet, that great in detail and great to Fly too.

I've had it for a while and I enjoy flying it, great for those smaller Airports.

You should show it in the Paywear photo section, not a lot of people look down here

Well, i've been here along with 130+!

You mean we've got to BUY IT?..... ... ...?

...$35..... ...!

Nice lookin' tho'... ...!

Paul.... ...!

Nice looking bird!

I live in the town where Epic is based...actually they are in the old Lancair Certified building before Cessna moved the Colombia to Mexico...

Sadly it looks like this jet is dead in the water...shame, would be nice to see it in production!

On the other hand, Epic is turning the LT Dynasty kit plane into the Epic 1000 certified machine...thanks to some rich Russian backers...

Lyon has a great LT package for FS9...should pick it up!

Not to be a wise-jerk, or anything, but the Columbia has been dead for a while now.
Soon, though, the Latitude and the Longitude will be what the Columbia should have been: certified!
I work for Cessna Citation (now Textron Aviation with the recent Beechcraft/Hawker acquisition) and the Latitude is undergoing flight testing now. It would be great to see a model for that! Or, even the new Sovereign. Nice.
This one looks great, though! I love a VLJ for hops! Get up quick, out of the weather, and cruise.

Columbia was certified and over 600 were built...I work with all the folks that worked on the Colombia from raw molds through to Cessna re-involving Lancair AFTER moving it from Mexico to Kansas which at the 'release' of the Corvallis is when Lancair was completely removed...Columbia is a certified Lancair IV/ES.

EDIT:
Just found this news story from 2004 showing that in fact the Columbia is not that old

Lancair International Inc. Aeronautical Engineer

Cessna Citation, years ago, was going to begin a new twin JET product, the Columbia. It was never more than a blueprint, as it was dreamed up as the economy took a nosedive in 2008. Some know about it, some do not. It appears as though there was some confusion with "Cessna moving the Colombia to Mexico", as Cessnas Columbia never made it past the planning stage. Your "Colombia" is a bird of a different feather, so to speak.
I'm not a fan of condescending "know-it-all" banter. If you're so smart, being an Aeronautical Engineer and all, I figured you knew what I was talking about, as it could be easily interpreted that you were talking about Cessna's Columbia, which yet again is a bar-napkin JET pipe-dream, not a 600+ unit certificated bug smasher.
Nice airplane, surely. Not a Cessna, not a jet, not what it sounded like you were talking about. That is all.

For not being a fan of "know it all" you sure sound like it...

Would it not have been easier just to quick mention you were talking about a Cessna paper jet concept called the Colombia?

Nice !!
